I have every variant minus the hot topic exclusive. It goes for well over $100, so I doubt I’ll complete the collection. Sigh. I love the gatefold of the third press

 

Finally got this on vinyl. I got it with the combo with the release of Valencia’s album as well...

 

Is that the straight white? I have two copies of that. Would be willing to work something out after the new pressing comes in.

 

It’s actually the white with blue splatter variant, but thanks for reaching out!

 

Is Colliding By Design gone from Spotify for everyone else?

 

Gone for me too

 

That’s bizarre

 

Yep, it's gone. Looks like it's still on Apple Music... strange.

 

I hope this is a good thing rather than a permanent, horrible change. I own it in several formats so that's not an issue, but it's a big part of a lot of my playlists.

 

It’s back

 

It appears they may not be playing chain fest any more

 

Sadly

 

I'm surprised but glad that we are getting potentially another album from them. I was a bit weary how under the radar Wild, Free went that it might cause them to go quiet again.

 

I still spin wild, free pretty regularly. I’m so happy we live in a world where they reunited. If they want to quietly put out an album every few years, I’m more than here for it

 

The last one was just whatever to me - surprised as well

 

is it horrible to say that i just want the vocal production from phantoms again?

 

They haven’t missed yet. Hope they’re still working with Sprinkle.

 

i like wild free much more than the comeback record

 

Wild, Free had to grow on me when it first dropped, but now I really enjoy it. I’m a fan of everything at this point, here for whatever they do next!

 

Tired: Phantoms is an under appreciated record

Wired: Phantoms is a *Christmas* album

Inspired: Phantoms is not just a Christmas album, it is a metaphorical retelling of “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens

 

This makes absolutely no sense, but anything that promotes an amazing album I will allow.

 

I was watching Muppet Christmas Carol with my family and had a gummy along with a few drinks. I could not stop thinking of how well the movie fit to the music on this record. From Take Cover over Scrooge’s walk, to Different when the ghosts start appearing, to Glory/Us when he is a reborn man.

I mean, I was VERY high.

 

Colliding by Design has so many killer songs on it. Fire and Rain, Goodbye, title track, Diagram...
